Thanks Georg. I guess it's one that I've been lucky enough to miss (even "forever"). :-)

This "IE/win stacking bug" has been around since "forever". It is often mentioned (and lost) in articles about something else, since one has to work around this bug for all sorts of constructions that rely on stacking. Can't remember where I read about it first - around 10 years ago, so google around. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
